"Federal Court Overturns Ruling That NSA Metadata Collection Was Illegal"
"NPR is reporting that an appeals court has overturned the decision that found the NSA's bulk data collection to be illegal. "Judges for the District of Columbia court of appeals found that the man who brought the case, conservative lawyer Larry Klayman, could not prove that his particular cellphone records had been swept up in NSA dragnets." The article clarifies that due to the recent passage of new laws governing how metadata is collected, this is of less significance than it would have otherwise been: "If you remember, after a fierce battle, both houses of Congress voted in favor of a law that lets phone companies keep that database, but still allows the government to query it for specific data. The three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia still decided to take on the case, because that new program doesn't begin until 180 days after the date that law was enacted (June 2, 2015.)" On top of that, the injunction from the earlier ruling never actually went into effect. Still, it seems like an important ruling to me: a government agency was willfully and directly violating the rights of the Americans (and international citizens as well) and now it's just going to get shrugged off?"
the UN gave the USA a failing grade for surveillance abuses, because for one they're not in compliance with human rights or UN rules, and the worst failure was the United States failure to provide victims of surveillance abuse a remedy.
Here's a video covering the UN report card failing the USA: http://www.oregonstatehospital.net/vide ... IKsdAwPY04
this case is a fine example for why this pussy ass country is shit. they just said to the American people, "you cannot bring a lawsuit for abuse, because the NSA can keep all their actions secret from you, abuse you, and this court will not require them to provide the facts or submit to a weapons/system inspection to determine the facts. therefore, you cannot prove you're a victim specifically to this court, even though whistleblowers and documents prove every single American's data is being bulk collected through fiber taps and agreements with providers."
the courts are protecting the military/executive branch/law enforcement abuse in this country, and denying the victims, the American people remedies.
here's a video that backs it up - every single person is a target and their data is being sucked up and kept, per NSA whistleblower William Binney. And this data is being collected illegally, with no warrants. furthermore a lot of its being done in the black world, not authorized by any laws.
